What's my teenager doing with a pacifier? It's
the time of year for
fun, gifts and toys. But pacifiers? Pacifiers are just one of the
"toys" used to stop club drug users from clenching their teeth - a
common side-effect of Ecstasy. Keep an eye out for these and other drug
paraphernalia. Make sure your child doesn't get more than he or she
bargained for this holiday. -- see LEAD's Club Drug site.
